If you could sum up Myths, Lies, and Half-Truths of Language Usage in three words, what would they be?
educational, entertaining and enjoyable
What other book might you compare Myths, Lies, and Half-Truths of Language Usage to, and why?
Prof McWhorter's other lecture series on the history of language because they are both of a high quality.
Have you listened to any of Professor John McWhorter’s other performances? How does this one compare?
This is the third of his lecture series I've heard and he never fails to engage and entertain whilst leadimh the listener through some challenging ideas.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
It's 18 hours long, so no.
Any additional comments?
I came away feeling like I'd really learnt something new and thoroughly enjoyed the process. This is how all learning should be.
